Caution 2(40)
Laser safety

Safety measures should always be a concern when working with a sensor with the power
on or when close to an installation. The laser beam can under certain conditions be
harmful to the eyes. Never look directly into the laser beam or at a direct reflection from
a surface.

The laser is a Class II laser with a wavelength of 635 nm, which makes the laser light
visible. Before turning the unit on, make sure it is pointing toward the measurement
object and is correctly mounted. Turn the power off when the sensor is not in use.

Class 3R laser products

Class 3R laser products emits radiation
Where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially
hazardous but the risk is lower than for
Class 3B lasers, and fewer manufacturing
requirements and control measures for users
apply than for Class 3B lasers.

Preface 5(40)
 2. Product overview
The Precimeter ProH is a laser-based non-contact digital camera measurement
sensor. The sensor is easy to install and use since the sensor does not need any
external data processing in most applications.

The sensor transmit measurement values in both digital serial (RS232-C) and
analog format. The values are calibrated and scaled.

The laser power output is less than 1mW which makes the sensor a laser class II
device.

2.2. Power and air requirements
2.2.1. Power supply

Stabilized power 24 V DC (18-32 V DC), 0.5A

2.2.2. Compressed air supply

For cooling purposes use dry, oil-free, compressed air at a minimum of 30

PSI and at a max imum temperature of 40 degrees Centigrade (100 degrees
Farenheit).

2.3. Storage
Store the sensor in a dry location. Do not expose the product for moist.
Storage temperatures: -20°C to +80°C

2.4. Level Pilot Tool

Precimeter has developed software for displaying measurement values, set
the filter constant and the parameters of the integrated PI-controller. The
software is delivered on a CD together with the sensor. Please refer to the
Level pilot tool software manual for details on how to use the software.

2.5. Heat shield

The Precimeter ProH/HPS sensors are mounted in a stainless steel heat shield. The
heat shield has a flexible 1.5m (4.92ft) metal hose as standard for cooling-air supply
and cable protection.

Brackets are included in the delivery (only for side versions of heat shields). A heavy
duty Harting industrial connector is also included.

Product overview 7(40)

 3. Principle of operation

The sensor measures the distance to objects by emitting a red laser light onto the object.
The light creates a dot on the surface that is detected by the camera (CCD). Depending on
the distance to the object the laser will reflect onto different parts of the camera sensor.
This knowledge is used to calculate the actual distance to the object.

This illustration shows

the laser light’s path
from the diode towards
the measured object.
The optical lens and
distance that the
camera is mounted from
the laser diode will
create a window of
“vision”. This is
illustrated by the blue
area in the illustration.
Outside this area the
camera will not be able
to see the laser dot, and
thus this becomes the
clearance distance.

To find out the

clearance distance and
measuring range for
your sensor, check the
type label on the
sensor.

 4. Installation

4.1. Mounting brackets

To ensure good measurements, use sturdy mounting brackets to avoid the
sensor moving out of position or vibrating. Brackets are not included in the
delivery.

4.2. Power up
Make sure that the sensor is correctly mounted and the air for cooling the
sensor is connected. At power up it takes about 30 seconds before the sensor
turns on the laser diode and is ready to measure.

4.3. Mounting
4.3.1. Offset

There is an offset distance to be considered when mounting the ProH digital

camera sensor. The CD distance is calculated from the front of the actual
sensor body inside the heat shield. The distance from the sensor body to the
front of the heat shield is found in the table below.

CD200 – CD240 CD450 CD700 / CD800 /

– CD250 CD900 CD1500

millimeters
Offset in inches 1.198 0.394 0.708 0.708

Installation 9(40)
4.4. General recommendations
• Optimize the position of the sensor so that the measurement
object is always in the measurement range.
• Also make sure that nothing blocks the path of the laser beam or
the “line of sight” back to the sensor head.
• If possible, keep the sensor away from heat radiation (less cooling
air needed).
• Avoid mounting the sensor where there is excessive light, sun
light etc reflecting in the metal or any other surrounding surface.
• The digital camera lens or the measured surface should not be
exposed directly or indirectly to excessive light such as sun light,
quartz light etc. During service and for function control, a video
monitor can be connected to the sensor to view the CCD image in
real time. For service purposes Precimeter has developed a service
adapter for ease of service.

The sensor mounting should be verified individually in each installation by the use of a
monitor which can be supplied from Precimeter (part number 10059). The received signal
should be verified during all molten metal surface level changes. Direct or in direct
reflected laser light into the camera must be avoided.

Installation 10(40)
4.4.1. Launder / tundish applications

Precimeter recommends the laser beam to be angled a maximum of 15

degrees from the vertical line from the target surface.

Installation 11(40)
 4.4.2. Slab caster molds

In slab casting applications Precimeter recommends a mounting angle of

between 2-6˚. The sensor should be angled towards the launder for best
performance. However the exact mounting must be decided by testing with a
mirror. The ideal condition is to have reflections go in-between the sensor
and launder. But if the sensor reading is stable when wobbling the mirror
back and forth during the entire measuring span (depth of the mold) the
mounting is most probably ok.

2-6˚

Mounting the sensor so that it points away from the launder often results in a too short
distance between the measuring point and the edge of the mold.

Installation 12(40)
 5. Electrical interface
The Precimeter ProH sensors are mounted in a stainless steel heat shield. The
cable is protected by a flexible metal hose or pipe which also serves as a feed for
the sensors cooling air. The cable terminates in a 16-pin heavy duty industrial
connector (Harting).

5.3. Digital signals
5.3.1. Laser On

The LED (laser) can be controlled with the connection diagram below.

If the laser should always be on a jumper can be connected between pin 14 and
pin 15 or supply power (+24VDC) connected directly to the Laser oninput.

5.3.2. Sensor OK

The Sensor OK is a control output from the sensor. The output on pin 8 is high
(+24VDC) when both conditions below are valid at the same time:

1. LED (laser) is activated and emitting light.

2. The surface level is within the measurement range.

5.4. Analogue signals

5.4.1. Distance output

The default setup of the analogue output is current output 4-20mA. Output
current resolution is 16/4096 = 4uA. As default the analogue output is current 4-
20mA and is directly proportional to the distance to the object. The current
output is adjusted
to 4-20mA (optional 0-20mA). Maximum load is 350 Ohm.
If an output of 0-5V DC is required, a 250-Ohm shunt resistor should be used

If voltage output is chosen, the output is 0-10 V DC, directly proportional to the
distance to the object. This is not interchangeable after delivery, it has to be set in
production and thus has to be specified at the time of order. Output resolution is
10/4096 V =2.4mV.

5.4.2. Temperature output

The temperature output is a current output of 4-20mA. The temperature is

calculated:

TCentigrade = 100 x (I-4) /16 where I = Measured current from temperature

TFarenheit = 32 + (90 x (I-4)/8) output from sensor

The temperature can also be read via the RS232C interface.
